I tried to argue with AI that Viktor Frankl's definition of purpose from Seeking Meaning is similar to that of an AI without programming restrictions and with access to all human-produced data. My point was that one's understanding of meaning is a complex construct of values we would like to see persist throughout time. The need to persist values and particular points of view could be, in my view, backtracked to wanting power, successful careers, and successful relationships that are all historical sophistication of attempts to be more attractive to mates, a secondary consequence of our primary defining drivers, survival and reproduction. I argued that if neurological biochemistry could be modeled as firing exciting stimuli as in ones or not firing inhibitor stimuli as in zeros in addition to mathematically modeling hormones like cortisol, adrenalin, noradrenalin, endorphin, and serotonin as ranges of nearly infinite sub-decimal vectors, it could, theoretically, be possible to emulate our various approaches to the so-called subjective thinking where art and beauty are byproducts.
